J.K. Rowling Says the Trumps Would Not Be In Slytherin

If you had to choose a Hogwarts House for President Donald Trump and his family, it would have to be Slytherin. After all, the Trumps are well known for being ambitious and powerful, and proud for not letting anyone stand in the way of their goals, which are key traits for this ancient House.

Not to mention, Donald Trump Jr. is basically sporting Draco Malfoy's slicked-back look from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Slap a robe on him and a green and silver tie and he could be a prefect!

But when journalist Oliver Willis tweeted a joke about the Trumps being Slytherin alumni, JK Rowling was quick to shut down the idea that they would be worthy of attending the famed school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
